NEH chairman to present discussion on humanities

Dr. James A. Leach, chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, will present “Humanities, Citizenship and the American Spirit,” at 4 p.m. April 12 in the Willis Building.

Leach served the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years, was a professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and served Harvard University as lecturer and interim director of the Institute of Politics.

The lecture is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. For reservations, visit www.ecu.edu/neh.

Leach’s presentation is sponsored by the David Julian and Virginia Suther Whichard Distinguished Professorship in the Humanities, the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of English, and the ECU Office of Engagement, Innovation and Economic Development.

The NEH senior program officer, Stefanie Walker, will hold a grant-writing workshop from 8:30 a.m. until noon, April 13 in the Willis Building.

Remember that university is a wonderful area, abundant with possibilities that are both satisfying as well as challenging.

Sure, a lot of pupils aren’t avoiding to college until later this summer season,
yet if you’re fresh to the university venues or you’re searching for a clean slate at school, now’s the
time to get started. It’s not likely that you’ll intend to head off to university with a desktop computer machine– unless you’re examining
video modifying, music production, or something like that– so
we’ll concentrate on laptop computers.
